Holiday Flute Carolers! The new thing in the works at the FIU Flute Studio is the Holiday Flute Caroling promotion. For any interested organization, event, or special person, the Holiday Flute Carolers will be available this Fall for any caroling performances for FREE! (Long distance locations would require small traveling fees.) For our first year, we will be promoting ourselves in the community and university through the festive sounds of the holidays with five special flute students from our studio.
